Sheffield botanical gardens

Sheffield’s botanical gardens was opened in 1836, attracting over twelve-thousand visitors. One of the main features of the nineteen acre site are the three glass pavilions (or conservatories) which house a range of international flora not otherwise found in the local area. The three domed pavilions are connected by ridge-and-furrow sections which also contain a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees.

They make for an attractive location and are very photogenic, I think.
